Third Mural in Downtown Sevierville: Sevierville Shuffle

July 19, 2021July 19, 2021outandaboutinseviervilleLeave a comment

There is a third mural in downtown Sevierville—but you must enter a gallery to see it on an interior wall. Come into the welcoming office of 10 Realty at #118 Bruce Street to see this new mural. I was excited to see the third mural in downtown Sevierville called Sevierville Shuffle. Come take a look!

First, enter Realty 10 on Bruce Street. Randy Babel, the owner, encourages visitors to come inside to see the mural and other paintings, pottery, and carvings on display in his business. Babel incorporates a realtor’s lounge with an art gallery so the public can browse, shop, and enjoy.

As you enter 10 Realty, you will notice the mural on the right.

Created by local artist, Crystal Lynn Sharp, the mural presents a map of Sevier County with local iconography. Locals will know all of them!

Crystal chose the name Sevierville Shuffle because “we (and our visitors) all tend to shuffle through our area, almost rhythmically. Sometimes we jot from place to place or glide smoothly. We always have so many choices and, like sticking your hand in your pocket and not really knowing what we are going to get, we so often are surprised by something that we did not anticipate—then, we are doing the ‘Sevierville Shuffle.’ ” Thus, this is how the artist named the mural.

Here is the technique that Crystal Lynn used to begin the process of painting the mural on a 9′ X 24′ section of wall.

Post-It Notes with the names of places and things helped to plan spacing for imagery in the mural. Truly, I think that the first process in planning a mural is quite fascinating.

In this photo, the body of the mural is falling into place. You can recognize local places and nature in the Smoky Mountains.

The owner of 10 Realty gave the artist free rein over the project. Crystal definitely kept the viewers in mind. We can gaze and guess, using our imaginations in regard to the icons. Look in the right corner in the picture above for one of the most important icons in our area. Well done!

Here is a photo that captures the *Sevierville Shuffle* mural as a work in progress.

Crystal recalled how Randy Babel contacted her about creating a mural inside his business. “Randy had a passion for art and he knew that we needed a space to display artists’ work so he offered up his walls in 10 Realty. It all seems to be blossoming and I was glad to help.” Indeed, it is quite impressive!

In a further description, Crystal told of painting “iconic places by using characters and representations of our well known spots as we meander down the parkway and local roads.” It is quite an enjoyable trip for the eyes.

The finished project looks perfect on that section of the wall. The Sevierville Shuffle mural will visually carry you from Exit 407 to Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. It is delightful!

Randy Babel asked for Crystal’s help in finding artists willing to hang their work in the office. There is an abundance of beautiful paintings and more… and all are for sale. I took quite a while looking at everything. You need to to plan on 30 minutes or more to really take them all in.

Many thanks to artist Crystal Lynn for letting me use many of her photos which show the development of the mural from the beginning to the end. To see more photos of 10 Realty/ Gallery 10, check out my previous blog story.
Come to browse or even take an art class in the evening. It is definitely one of the best things now in downtown Sevierville.

Here are links to Facebook pages for more details and upcoming events.

10 Realty / Gallery 10 Art Gallery in Downtown Sevierville

June 27, 2021outandaboutinsevierville2 Comments

A new space has opened in downtown Sevierville that combines a real estate office with an art gallery. Located in the previous Crust and Crumb bakery location at 118 Bruce Street, 10 Realty offers local artists a place to display their work in a gallery enviroment. If you are in the downtown area from 9-5 during the week, you really need to walk in and see this unique space! Here is a quick view.

The focal point of the room is a beautiful mural of Sevier County with local icons, painted by local artist Crystal Lynn.

This is significant because it is the third mural painted in downtown Sevierville. I am working on a story about this mural soon as it deserves a story all its own.

The wall spaces in 10 Realty make a perfect display area.

Randy Bable, the owner of 10 Realty, had a vision for his office to sell real estate, to serve local artists, and to provide a community space.

The interior communicates an upscale, outdoorsy vibe. Make note: Randy Bable made the table that you see on the right. It is an amazing piece of furniture!

I think that he may have made this chair as well. Impressive!

Every space is well used. Each frame seems to be perfectly placed!

Each piece of art is accompanied by a QR code with information about the artist and the work. Just open your phone camera and place it close to the QR symbol to open the information. ( Wouldn’t you like for someone to come to your home to hang your pictures with such perfect spacing?)

This is the QR code to one of my favorite pieces.

There really is a lot to see on each wall of 10 Realty / Gallery 10. In fact, I browsed for quite a while.

This one was one of my favorites! I love this bear scene.

10 Realty offers art and work spaces. Follow their Facebook page to keep up to date on future activities. For example, there are going to be some painting classes very soon. Here is a link to the Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/10Realty/

Certainly, 10 Realty will be an asset in downtown Sevierville area with all it offers to the community. Indeed, it is good to have art and artists back on Bruce Street!

See you out and about!

First Downtown Sevierville Farmers Market 2021

May 23, 2021outandaboutinseviervilleLeave a comment

I saw the Facebook announcement and was ready for the new season for the Downtown Sevierville farmers market. Not only will it return to downtown Sevierville this summer, but it will take place on Saturdays. This is exciting for those of us who did not work in the downtown area and could not make it on Fridays. It is great to have the market back for the summer!

The new streetscape downtown is looking nice. I parked in the lot on Main Street and Court Avenue, across from the Historic Sevierville Hotel. There is a little shortcut that I like to take to access the gazebo area on Bruce Street.

This is my favorite short cut from Court Avenue.

Here is a time lapse of the shortcut to the downtown farmers market.

Or, you can park behind the vendors near the gazebo area. This can come in handy if you make some larger purchases.

There were many gift ideas at this table. The vendors were so friendly as well.

I was well impressed with this vendor from Dandridge and must park closer next time so I can buy one of his herb planters. The plants were healthy and ready to use or plant at home.

Everyone’s favorite! The pastry pictured above is an Almond Tea Cake. Wonderful!

Olde Virden’s is a popular vendor at the Knoxville farmers market so it was good to see them in downtown Sevierville.

The top photo in the collage above would make a good Father’s Day gift. I bought the two items pictured below. One for a gift, and the other a treat for my sister at the lake this summer. I love the Spicy Cheese Straws!

The gazebo is one of my favorite spots in the downtown area.

You will notice some new things downtown as well as the streetscape so enjoy your visit to the farmers market.

See you out and about in Sevierville this summer.

First Sevierville Farmers Market of 2020: Summer Fresh

June 8, 2020outandaboutinseviervilleLeave a comment

Apparently a lot of other people were ready for the Sevierville Farmers Market last Friday because there was a nice crowd. I met my friend Heidi in the parking lot, put on my mask, and grabbed a bag to hold my acquisitions. Here are some collages and photos of the best of the market last Friday.

Remember, the farmers market is at the city hall complex while construction takes place downtown.

I put on my cabi mask and was ready to shop.

Next time, I will park closer to the Civic Center and walk a little farther—less traffic. Glad to see the market busy though!

One of our favorite vendors from Grainger County.

This is a great vendor! She has magnesium bath salts which are good for health.

The vendor was lovely. We enjoyed the samples which prompted my friend to buy some lotion. Her lip balm was good so I also bought a tube of that to put in my purse. You can never have enough lip balm.

The market is spaced out very well and plenty of parking.

These recycled art bracelets were comfortable and clever. You can see what they are made of: aluminum can pop tops. Love the purple and white!

This was my favorite vendor on Friday—and I found out that I know her!

This vendor has a farm in Seymour and raises sheep so there are many products from wool and lanolin.

She made these animal magnets from wool from her sheep. The animal magnets were absolutely amazing!

Tomatoes from the field will be ready in two weeks. The vendor assured me that I would not be able to tell the difference. They were good!

A farmers market for both man and beast!

A cool, round zucchini from Henderson’s market!

Beautiful tie die shirts. These vendors are so nice.

This couple said that they ordered their face shields on Amazon. I went home and ordered a couple for myself to use in August.

Henderson’s Market has it all!

I bought the collard greens pictured above from this vendor from Kodak. The collards were tender so I steamed them and used a Kosher salt. Very good!

Here is the info on Garner Farm. Yes, that is their dog in the ad.

I will visit this vendor again. Very nice samples of lotions.

When you finish with the farmers market, take a stroll on the new section of the greenway. I like this new bridge that extends the trail and helps pedestrians walking along DPP.

Heidi and I walked three laps on the Greenway and then bid farewell to the first farmers market of 2020.

I saw a good crowd at the market and know that it will have a good season. See you there!

Perfect Weather for a Farmers Market : June 14, 2019

June 15, 2019June 17, 2019outandaboutinseviervilleLeave a comment

It was only 70° as I parked at the lot on Main Street and Court Avenue to go to the downtown Sevierville farmers market. With those temps, I knew that it would be a special day to enjoy the market without all the usual heat. What a nice day it turned out to be!

The entrance to Court Avenue is lovely. The Department of Parks and Recreation deserves compliments for their hard work. This spot is lovely.

Did you realize there are brochures for a downtown self-guided walking tour?

The flags were out for Flag Day.

First, I stopped for a coffee at the Crust and Crumb on Bruce Street. Next, a friend met me for lunch. After that, we strolled to the farmers market around 12:30 to catch the last 30 minutes.

My first stop was the table by the Sevierville Commons Arts Council. Pictured left to right are Marilyn Davenport, Crystal Lynn, and Elizabeth Cole.

So many beautiful things at the Sevierville Commons Arts Council table.

Art is alive and well downtown. We can look forward to some upcoming ‘make-it-and-take-it’ classes soon.

Ham and Goodys is famous for their cookies and many customers have made a drive to Knoxville to get these treats.

Rather than individual cookies, Ham and Goodys sells them by the dozen. I chose an assortment to take to my father for Fathers Day. The Ham and Goodys people said that customers were waiting when they arrived at the Sevierville farmers market in the morning! Yes, I can believe that.

I sometimes buy soap from this vendor, but suddenly developed a thirst and had a refreshment instead. What wonderful lemonade! Make sure that you look for this young entrepreneur next week! Great lemonade!

The Sevierville Fire Department brought a beautiful old fire engine and we wanted to go for a spin.

Sevierville’s finest are at the farmers market to answer questions and offer help to the community.

The downtown Sevierville farmers market is a good opportunity for families to shop or work together. The food sold here is the best of the summer!

This is one of my favorite vendors: Sevier Blumen. I bought some Zinnias for my dining room table and they are beautiful.

The bouquets are a delight for the senses.

Who can resist beautiful flowers?

Don’t forget to bring a shopping bag to the farmers market!

Soon, it was closing time for the market so I wandered down Bruce Street toward my car. A wonderful smell was coming from Graze Burgers and I could hear music coming from their outdoor patio. The sounds and smells always entice me to come over for a while.

Every time that I go downtown, Graze Burgers beckons with sounds and the aroma from the grill. So nice.

I hope to visit the Graze Burger outdoor patio soon. They are ready to serve you.

Currently, the construction was happening at the upper end of Bruce Street. This is needed to install underground utilities and new water lines.

As I walked to my car, I could see work going on for the new lofts going in downtown on Main Street. Perhaps that will be a future post when we are out and about in Sevierville.

Two Coyotes Studio in Downtown Sevierville

June 8, 2019June 13, 2019outandaboutinsevierville6 Comments

One of my favorite places in downtown Sevierville is the Two Coyotes Studio. I like to drop by and browse the art and jewelry. In fact, I have bought several gifts and earrings for myself at this business. Also, it is just fun to chat with the owner/artist, Bev Gwinn Jones. Come along with me to visit this little treasure tucked away upstairs on Court Avenue.

If you are looking in this direction then you are very close to the studio entrance. Check the Facebook page (included further in the article) to be aware of current hours. She is busy teaching classes in the summer!

The door is to the right of D Garden Florique.

The door is to the left of Southern Fried Hair. Now, you have found it on Court Avenue.

Walk in the door and you will be directed up the stairs.

It looks like a lot, but it you will be at the top in seconds.

When you are close to the top of the stairs, you will see some pretty things!

Everything will catch your eye!

If you like jewelry, especially earrings, then you are in the right place.

I love the visual presentation.

So many pretty things!

Bev Gwinn Jones is the artist/owner of the studio. She has had an interesting career trajectory that has led her to downtown Sevierville. Originally from Knoxville, Bev lived in Gatlinburg during her college years, working at a plant store called “Plants and Other Healthy Things.” Later, she worked with the Record Bar, a chain of record stores in the southeast. You may remember the Record Bar in West Town Mall? She traveled a lot through Nashville, East Tennessee, and more during those years.

I always must admire this photo in the Two Coyotes Studio. OK, I admit that I always go over to this photo to pay homage to one of my favorite music artists.

Here is a short version of the story behind the photo above. Bev moved to Texas and was working as regional manager for a record store chain when a friend invited her to go to a Sting concert. Not only did she get to see a concert of a lifetime, but they also had backstage passes. There was a long ‘meet and greet’ line to see Sting, but it was all completely worth it! Bev will tell you the story. Apparently Sting was very pleasant and personable as they got to enjoy that moment. Bev says that she had two highlights of her music store career: meeting Sting and David Crosby. What luck!

At the height of her music store career, Bev had 24 stores under her supervision. Eventually, she was able to move back with the company to Nashville and ended up in Sevierville to start her family.

When I asked Bev why she named her studio “Two Coyotes,” she told me that it came from a time when she and her husband lived in Colorado. Coyotes are iconic animal figures in Colorado, much as bears are in our area. Bev said, “Coyotes mate for life and their nest is usually high on a mountaintop.” One can see the parallel and it is perfect.

Bev created and sold her art in Sevierville as she raised her family. I borrowed this photo from the Two Coyotes Studio Facebook page that shows her selling her creations on Bruce Street in 1992. Bruce Street was her first venue; later, she began doing arts and crafts shows. Eventually, she settled into her Court Avenue location. Catch her studio link here https://www.facebook.com/BevGwinnJones/ .

Bev sells her creations at my favorite boutique in town: Loraleis. She also once sold them in a store that you may remember called the Common Good. Now, her creations are primarily sold in her own studio.

I always find 10 things that I like on this display. Love the birdcage to display jewelry!

I admired these necklaces. Beautiful color!

Bev Gwinn Jones is busy creating art and teaching classes. Go to her Facebook page and click on ‘events’ in the left menu. She offers small group art camps for children in her studio. Also, she helps lead a drama camp at her church so check the Two Coyotes Studio Facebook page for times and dates. Here is the link

https://www.facebook.com/BevGwinnJones/

A generous spirit, I personally know that Bev supports charities and fundraisers. The work pictured above has been commissioned for an upcoming charity event.

One thing that is unique to this studio— you can design your own jewelry. There are no limits to what you can create at Two Coyotes Studio.

I felt very attracted to this design when I realized that it reminded me of something…

The flowers remind me of the cabi Primrose Dress. Love it!

It is a visual pleasure to gaze at the creations in the Two Coyotes Studio.

I learned about Bev and the studio from my good friend, Sheley. We have visited the studio together a couple of times, especially for Christmas shopping.

And even ornaments! The store is so pretty that I used the photo above for an Instagram post last year.

Bev Gwinn Jones is a talented artist with an interesting life and personal story. Her studio is so fun to visit and anyone can afford something there— some things just cost a few dollars. This artist supports downtown Sevierville and small businesses. In truth, Two Coyotes Studio is a downtown Sevierville treasure.

Check out some pretty things at Two Coyotes Studio when you are out and about in Sevierville.

New Vendor Treasures at the Sevierville Farmers Market: May 31, 2019.

June 1, 2019June 2, 2019outandaboutinseviervilleLeave a comment

For the first time in a while, I was able to arrive early to the downtown Sevierville Farmers Market and linger. It was not very hot and turned out to be such nice weather. We were all ready for a stroll through the market.

I drove down Bruce Street, but usually park in the public lot on Main Street and Court Avenue.

I like this large sign on Main Street. You will pass it as you go on to Dolly Parton Parkway.

Next, I like to turn left on Court Avenue and cut through the arcade. This is a good shortcut to the market from Court Avenue and the courthouse area.

By 10:15, the market was bustling with activity.

I started on the east (right side) of the market and ran into a new vendor who creates her own skin products. The table had such a pretty presentation.

I always need lip balm so it was nice to be able to test the product right there. The vendor will give you a popsicle stick to make it easier. She uses essential oils in the beeswax so the balm is nicely smooth and soothing.

When you can’t decide, just buy both choices!

My sister Suzanne would like these T-shirts.

Sound Revue will provide music during June and it really adds to a festive atmosphere.

A nice, clear sound invigorated the market from this Dandridge based D.J.

Next, I found a new vendor who was raising money for a Gatlinburg non-profit.

They have been gifted a super nice roaster, pictured in the upper left of the collage. The rescue group will give away roasted nuts for a donation—and $5 a bag is a bargain. I bought a bag and intend to use them on salads this summer.

Samples are always a good idea at a farmers market so I was hooked after that. Very good!

We talked about the animals currently in their care and the work done by the rescue group. Many are seniors and hard to adopt pets. I will try to donate to Hidden Hills Animal Rescue each week that I see them at the market. They hope to be there more this summer.

Hidden Hills Animal Rescue features a ‘pet of the week’ in this local publication. You can see the web address above.

It is always interesting to see what products are available from the Crust and Crumb.

It was hard to walk by these pastries because they looked divine!

Such nice temperatures in the low 80s.

If there an anchor to the downtown Sevierville farmers market, then it would have to be the stand from Henderson’s Produce. I often shop at their store at 705 Eastgate Road in Sevierville, but the downtown market is even more convenient.

By 11:00 a.m., it was time for me to meet a colleague for lunch at Courthouse Donuts. There was not a parking space to be found on Bruce Street— a good economic sign.

The new (and wildly popular) Graze Burgers restaurant was ready for lunch service. I am sure that it got busy by noon.

Next time, I must schedule extra time for a coffee at Crust and Crumb on Bruce Street.

Courthouse Donuts has the best windows downtown. Have a coffee and watch the traffic around the courthouse as you wait for your order.

We had the blue plate special, a tuna melt, and enjoyed the view.

I welcome the Friday farmers market in downtown Sevierville and look forward to finding more treasures from the vendors. For summer, it must be one of the best ways to get out and about in Sevierville.

See you next Friday!

First Downtown Sevierville Farmer’s Market 2019

May 24, 2019May 25, 2019outandaboutinseviervilleLeave a comment

It was a quick break downtown to see the first Farmer’s Market of 2019.

I parked on Main and Court Avenue, making my way through the arcade to the back of the market.

Downtown is ready for Memorial Day this weekend. It gives one pause to see the flags on display and think about the significance.

Henderson’s produce is at their usual corner. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see these tomatoes now! At long last!

Crust and Crumb is located by 20/20 Optical. They also have baked goods available at the Farmer’s Market on Fridays. The photo above shows cinnamon and raisin bagels. Divine!

One of my new favorite places downtown: Crust and Crumb. Go there for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. Coffee!

This is one of my favorite vendors. I love her soaps and other products. She is so friendly!

A vintage fire truck was at the market with some firefighters. You don’t see that every day.

This is an interesting couple. Talk to them some time and hear their story.

The Sevierville Farmer’s Market is great for families to explore.

This may be a new vendor. Will check it more closely next week.

This is another favorite vendor for their beautiful flowers and blooms. They will soon have sunflowers!

Kyle Grainger from WVLT TV was ready to film for the first day of the market.

This was the prize of the day! I took a box back to work and brightened 11 colleague’s day with a Ham and Goody’s lemon cookie.

Music in the background adds a lot to the the shopping experience. Everyone enjoyed it.

As the church bells began ringing at noon, crowds began to pour into the market.

It was time for me to go so I took a look a last look back and then headed for lunch at Courthouse Donuts.

This is my favorite place to hang out. I got a seat by the big window and waited for the special of the day: a tuna melt with a pasta side and a donut. The rocking chair is beautiful and I’ll bet that I know where that came from. Jennifer, owner of Courthouse Donuts, said that she was feeling the impact of the farmer’s market because it was extremely busy all morning. Good news!

Summer is just a few days away. The downtown Sevierville Farmer’s Market is just getting started and I can just imagine the produce that is heading our way from local farmers and growers. The Sevierville Farmer’s Market may be my favorite way to get out and about in Sevierville during the summer.

See you next Friday!

Pick Your Own Flowers at Rivers and Roots in Sevierville

April 5, 2019outandaboutinsevierville2 Comments

A new page popped up on Facebook this week and I was intrigued. There is a new ‘pick your own flowers’ place on the river, just off Robert Henderson Road. I talked three friends into going with me today and we discovered the most charming little place on the river. Put on your garden shoes and come along with us to Rivers and Roots in Sevierville.

I went onto the Rivers and Roots Facebook page to find a map and hours. The navegation starts at National Fitness Center because that is where I was when I thought to look it up online. I had never noticed this road along the river before. Turn right before the bridge. https://www.facebook.com/riversandroots/

It was fun to explore to little River Road!

Keep driving down River Road until you see this sign. Park in a dry area and walk on the wood chips avenue to the flowers. Or you could drive on the woods chips up to the main area.

Walk up to the green house area. There are flowers inside, and outside, beyond view.

We were met by the owners, Sydney and Titus. They welcomed us and explained how things work. It has only been open 2 days!

Prices are really good and you can cut a lot to fit a small bucket. My friends got to work while I took pictures. We all love flowers so excitement was in the air!

We started outside the greenhouse because the flowers were beckoning us.

Janice looks beautiful amidst the daffodils.

Anita stands by the greenhouse area for the flowers. I need to find out what that is called!

It was just too beautiful for words!

It was a feast for the eyes under the canopy.

Music was playing from the small building. As I was standing there, a song resonated with me and that exact moment. Good one! Click the link for a live shot—and to hear the song. My new favorite song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7rO6MDicvM&list=UUZ6cmtdU5I9jm7TPRaqgpbA

An attraction to Rivers and Roots is not just found in the lovely flowers; it is also the highly photographable things on the property. I found them to be irresistible and was drawn to several areas.

But in the end, the flowers are the main attraction to Rivers and Roots. Amazing!

Pick your own flowers and pay at the little stand.

Elaine created the perfect nosegay. Bet you haven’t heard that word in a while! But it came to mind for this picture.

So beautiful!

Sydney and Titus bid us farewell. We will see them again soon!

We headed back to the car. Good friends, a good place, and a good day.

Anita had to head out ahead of us. Follow the River Road back to Robert Henderson Road and you are back in town. It is only a hop, skip, and a jump away when you are out and about in Sevierville.

This is truly a special place. Wear old shoes or garden shoes and plan to stay a while. Come by and see the beauty at Rivers and Roots in Sevierville. So far, it is my favorite place of the year. You will like it too!

Two of My Favorites for ‘Small Business Saturday’ in Sevierville 2018

November 23, 2018December 29, 2018outandaboutinsevierville1 Comment

There are businesses in town that I really enjoy visiting on any occasion, but I have two favorites when I need to find gifts—or just something for me. Tomorrow is ‘Small Business Saturday,’ a day set aside to recognize and to support small businesses. These are two of my favorites.

Two Coyotes Studio

Located downtown Sevierville, this studio is located almost across the street from the Dolly Parton statue and the courthouse.

This is the view from near the front door of Two Coyotes Studio.

The studio entrance is to the left of Southern Fried Hair. Just open the door and go upstairs.

A delightful art studio is located at the top of the stairs. There are so many gifts and treasures to be found there.

Artist Bev Gwinn Jones sells handcrafted jewelry, paintings, and many other gift ideas. They are very affordable for anyone. I have bought earrings and necklaces at this store over the years and always enjoy a visit. Christmas jewelry, especially earrings, are now in stock. You can find the perfect ‘conversation piece’ at this unique place.

When I go to see Bev at Two Coyotes, I always have to walk over and see her picture that was taken with Sting. Lucky! Ask her to tell you the story.

I know that Bev will soon have a ‘sip and shop’ event. Here is her schedule for the next few weeks.

Follow the studio on Facebook and Instagram. Here is a link.

https://www.facebook.com/BevGwinnJones/

Loralei’s

My favorite boutique in town is Loralei’s, across from Sevier County High School. The address is 1235 Dolly Parton Pkwy, Suite 7.

There is plenty of parking and the store is nicely laid out. Merchandise and gifts are beautifully displayed.

I wrote a blog story about this boutique a couple of years ago and the article has been viewed more than 465 times. It is a very popular place with locals.

You are warmly greeted every time you enter this unique boutique.

I have found so many gifts here over the years. Scarves, jewelry, hand creme, shirts, a clear bag so I can attend Vols games, mulling spices for winter beverages, and hand crafted soap. I am sure that there is more!

The boutique offers something for everyone. Especially in regard to the clothing. I found a graphic t-shirt today during my visit that was very cute.

It is a relaxing experience to shop at Loralei’s boutique and there is no pressure if you don’t find exactly what you are looking for, although I can’t imagine that.

Here is a quick look at what you can find tomorrow for the Small Business Saturday event. Follow the boutique on Facebook. Here is a link: https://www.facebook.com/Loraleis.on.main/

Black Friday has passed, but there is more holiday shopping to be done. Even a small purchase can make a big difference for small businesses in our town. Try to visit these two places tomorrow, or any time that you are able, because you will not be disappointed.
